If the thandaper is still in the name of seller, pokkuvaravu may not be effected. Please contact your village officer.

Pokkuvaravu or mutation of Land

Thandaper Register is the Register of land holders in a village. The details of land , category and land tax payable, remittance details etc. will be entered in this register. When a new land holder originates his name will be entered in the register by assigning a new number and his land details will be entered in the register. This process is known as pokkuvaravu and the number assigned to the land owner is thandaper number. This Suo moto process is only for fiscal purpose and never ensures ownership of the land. After registration of a land the request for mutation will be sent to the village officer through online from the sub registrar office.

As of now, it's not possible to get new thandaper number in the cases of Apartments. 

But it's not a legal issue while you resale it. You can  continue the tax remittance in your name (it will be mentioned as  ഒടുക്കുന്നയാൾ.) 

The difficult now is, it's not possible to pay the tax online. You have to approcha the village office directly
